Thanks,

PS I think one of my main difficulties with the GRUB documentation
(which could be easily fixed) is that the word "install" is used for two
totally different things, and is often

Hello
I recently installed grub (grub-0.92-7) and I would

I was converting the GRUB documentation (version 0.5.96.1) from TEXI format

and, of course:
kdehelp /usr/info/grub.info.gz
or similar, will work nicely under KDE environments.
